First, the portable terminal 3 receives beacon information from the beacon transmitter 1 (S11). Specifically, when the player enters the BBB store, the portable terminal 3 carried by the player is located in the receiving area of beacon information transmitted from the beacon transmitter 1 installed at the entrance of the game arcade. Then, the beacon information is received by the portable terminal 3.
When the portable terminal 3 receives the beacon information, the portable terminal 3 collates the beacon table T1 with the device ID “a3fg” included in the beacon information as a key (S12).
When a matching device ID is detected, predetermined entrance information is transmitted to the cloud server 2, and a request for adding a visit point is made (S13). Specifically, the entrance information including the identification information “BBB” of the store corresponding to the device ID “a3fg” and the MAC address of the portable terminal 3 is transmitted to the cloud server 2.

When the cloud server 2 receives the entrance information, the cloud server 2 performs entrance determination (S14).
Specifically, based on the identification information "BBB" of the game arcade included in the entrance information and the MAC address, the game arcade "BBB" in which the player having the portable terminal 3 having the MAC address is specified by the identification information It can be determined that the user has entered the store.

Subsequent to the entrance determination, the cloud server 2 performs an addition process of the visit point (S15). Specifically, in the point management table T3 of the game arcade "BBB shop" specified from the identification information "BBB" of the shop name contained in the entrance information, the player's point specified from the MAC address contained in the entrance information Add points (1 pt) to the field.
When the addition processing of the visiting point is completed, the cloud server 2 transmits an adding response of the visiting point to the portable terminal 3 (S16). Specifically, addition response information including the added point information (1 pt) and the identification information "BBB" of the game arcade is transmitted to the portable terminal 3.

  The portable terminal 3 having received the addition response of the visit point displays the point information on the display unit 34 (S17). Specifically, based on the identification information "BBB" of the game arcade included in the addition response information and the point information (1 pt), the point (1 point) given to the game arcade "BBB shop" visited is displayed on the display unit 34. (See FIG. 14).

As described above, according to the visit management system 100 according to the present embodiment, each entrance determination in the plurality of game arcades is automatically performed without the operation of the player, and each game arcade in the plurality of game arcades In addition, the cloud server 2 performs centralized control of the entrance judgment and the point management.

Therefore, in the cloud server 2 of the present embodiment, the control unit 25 functions as a store visit information totaling means to count predetermined visit information for each game arcade based on the entry information when the entry determination is performed. I am trying to do it.
For example, in the user information table T2, when the entrance information when the entrance determination is performed is configured by the MAC address "c4: 43: 8f: xx: xx: xx" and the identification information "BBB" of the store name. Since it is determined that the player with the management number "26" specified from the MAC address has come to the "BBB store", table data provided with the store name, management number, and number of visits fields are provided. , "1" is added to the numerical value in "the number of visits" corresponding to the store name "BBB store" and the management number "26" for update. This tallying process is performed every time an entrance decision is made

In this way, it is possible to take out only the necessary game area aggregate information simply by specifying the store name, while collectively summarizing visit information in a plurality of game halls.
Further, by referring to the user information table T2 using the management number "26" as a key, the player's date of birth and gender can be extracted.
For this reason, it is possible to classify and aggregate visit information collected for each game arcade by age group and gender.

Furthermore, by linking and storing the visit information on the date when the entrance determination is performed, the visit information for each game arcade can be aggregated based on a time series such as month, week, and day.
For example, by specifying a specific month as the aggregation target, it is possible to aggregate the total value of the number of visitors per day from the first day to the last day of the month.

FIG. 15 is a graph showing the number of visitors by month.
Specifically, it is the average value of the number of visitors per business day in the month (average number of visitors) in the month determined by dividing the aggregated value of the number of visitors in a month by the number of days of that month Bar graph for September-December.
According to such a graph, it is possible to visually grasp the month with a large number of visitors and the month with a small number of people.

FIG. 16 is a graph showing the number of visitors by age by month.
Specifically, the average number of visitors from September to December is further classified into predetermined age groups (18 to 34 years, 35 to 49 years, 50 years or older), and summarized, and a bar graph (FIG. 16). (A)) and a pie chart (FIG. 16 (b)).
According to such a graph, it is possible to easily grasp through visual inspection the increasing / decreasing tendency of the number of visitors in the game arcade and the ratio of the visitors for each age group.

FIG. 17 is a graph showing the number of visitors by gender by month.
Specifically, the average number of visitors from September to December is further classified by gender and totaled, and represented by a bar graph (FIG. 17 (a)) and a pie chart (FIG. 17 (b)) It is.
According to such a graph, it is possible to easily grasp through visual inspection the increasing / decreasing trend of the number of visitors in a specific game arcade and the ratio of visitors by gender.

Further, FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the increasing and decreasing trend of the number of visitors to a certain game arcade by a bar graph and a line graph.
Specifically, the number of visitors per day from September to December is represented by a bar graph and a line graph.
According to the line graph of FIG. 18 (b), it is possible to grasp the increase and decrease of the number of visitors as a whole, and according to the bar graph of FIG. 18 (a), it is possible to grasp the number of visitors per day in a specific month. can do.
Therefore, according to these graphs, it is possible to smoothly compare the general tendency of the number of visitors to a specific game arcade with the detail of the number of visitors.

In addition, the cloud server 2 functions as the visit information collecting means by the control unit 25 so that the visit history of the player is determined based on the time when the entry determination is made and the player identification information included in the entry information. It can be tabulated for each game arcade.
It should be noted that, as a premise of totaling such a store visit history, store visit information summarized for each game arcade is associated with and stored on the date when the entrance determination is made.

Under such an assumption, for example, in order to obtain the game history of the player with the management number "26", the visit information is searched using the management number "26" as a key.
Then, visit information for each game arcade of the player with the management number "26" is extracted together with the date and time when the entrance determination was made.
Therefore, by arranging the extracted visit information to, for example, a new order of time series, it is possible to easily track the game history across a plurality of game arcades regarding a specific player.

Also, by referring to the point management table T3, it is possible to extract the point history of the player with the management number "26".
For this reason, by transmitting the information of the collected game history and point history to the player's portable terminal 3 in a viewable manner, for example, as shown in FIG. It is possible to display the history (“after visit to the store”) which can identify the store name, visit point and the date and time of the last visit to the place. In addition, it is possible to display the history of visit points in a specific game arcade.
For example, it is possible to allow the portable terminal 3 to be able to list the history of giving and consuming the visit points for each date and time of visit and date and time of exchange of prizes.

Furthermore, in the visit determination system 100 according to the present embodiment, not only entrance to the game arcade but also exit from the game arcade can be determined in entrance determination, and therefore, it is possible to count visit information related to entry and exit. is there.
Then, the entrance judging means of this embodiment which enables entrance judgment and exit judgment will be described.

FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining the entrance determination and the exit determination in the entrance determination means according to the present embodiment. The figure is a plan view around the entrance of the game arcade.
As shown in FIG. 20, the beacon transmitter 1 is installed on the inside and outside of the entrance of the game arcade. Specifically, the beacon transmitter 1a outside the store and the beacon transmitter 1b inside the store are installed along the moving direction X or the moving direction Y of the player when entering or leaving the game arcade.

  Under such conditions, the cloud server 2 functions as the entrance determination means to receive the entrance information including the device ID related to the beacon transmitter 1a outside the shop, and then the cloud server 2 inside the shop. When the entrance information including the device ID related to the beacon transmitter 1b is received, it is determined that the player has entered, and after the entrance information including the device ID related to the beacon transmitter 1b inside the store is received, the store When the entrance information including the device ID related to the outer beacon transmitter 1a is received, it is determined that the player has left.

For example, determination of entering / exiting where the device ID relating to the beacon transmitter 1a outside the store is “a3fg1” and the device ID relating to the beacon transmitter 1b inside the store is “a3fg2” will be described.
Since the player always enters the game arcade in the moving direction X upon entry, the portable terminal 3 receives beacon information including the device ID “a3fg1” and then beacon information including the device ID “a3fg2”. Will receive.
Further, in response to the reception of the beacon information, the portable terminal 3 transmits the entrance information including the device ID “a3fg1” and the MAC address to the cloud server 2, and then the entrance information including the device ID “a3fg2” and the MAC address Send. In addition, since each entrance information is transmitted from the same portable terminal 3, each MAC address contained in each entrance information becomes the same.
Therefore, after the cloud server 2 receives the entrance information including the device ID “a3fg1”, the MAC included in the entrance information received for the second time is the case where the entrance information including the device ID “a3fg2” is received. If the address is the same as the MAC address included in the entrance information received for the first time, it can be determined that the player carrying the portable terminal 3 having the MAC address has entered.

On the other hand, when leaving the game, the player always leaves the game arcade in the moving direction Y. Therefore, the portable terminal 3 receives beacon information including the device ID “a3fg2” and then includes the device ID “a3fg1”. It will receive beacon information.
Further, in response to the reception of the beacon information, the portable terminal 3 transmits the entrance information including the device ID “a3fg2” and the MAC address to the cloud server 2, and then the entrance information including the device ID “a3fg1” and the MAC address Send
For this reason, the cloud server 2 receives the entrance information including the device ID “a3fg2”, and then receives the entrance information including the device ID “a3fg1”, and the MAC included in the entrance information received for the second time If the address is the same as the MAC address included in the entry information received for the first time, it can be determined that the player carrying the portable terminal 3 having that MAC address has left.

If the cloud server 2 does not receive the second entry information even after a predetermined time (for example, 1 to 2 seconds) has passed since the first entry information has been received, from the target of entry or exit By excluding, it is possible to improve the accuracy of entering and leaving and to reduce the processing load on the cloud server 2.
Further, FIG. 20 illustrates an example in which the moving route at the time of entry and the moving route at the time of leaving are different, but entering / exiting can be determined even if these routes are common.

In this manner, the control unit 25 can count the visit information for each game arcade based on the entrance information when the entrance determination and the exit determination are performed as the visit information aggregation means.
For example, it is possible to specify the entrance time and exit time according to the judgment of entry and exit by means of a timer (not shown), and obtain the stay time of the player in the game arcade by subtracting the entrance time from the exit time. Can.
For this reason, it is possible to classify and aggregate visit information into categories based on entry time, exit time, and stay time.

For example, FIG. 21 is a graph showing the number of entering, leaving, and the number of staying people for each time zone.
Specifically, the number of people entering the store is counted based on the time of entering the store every hour from the start of business to the end of business in the business hours of one day, and the number of people leaving the store is counted based on the time of leaving The number of staying people is calculated by subtracting the number of people leaving from the number of people, and these are represented in a bar graph.
In this way, not only the number of people entering the store but also the number of people leaving the store and the number of people staying can be determined, so it is possible to analyze in more detail the gaming trend in the business hours of the day.

FIG. 22 is a diagram and a graph representing the number of visitors and the average stay time by week in a specific month.
According to such a chart and graph, the relationship between the number of visitors and the stay time can be analyzed by week and day of the week.
For example, on Sunday, regardless of the week, the number of visitors and the stay time both have large values, while the Wednesday in the week of January 13 has a stay time compared to the large number of players It can be understood that it is short.
In addition, since the present day's (the day's) visit information can be displayed in an identifiable manner, browsing can be performed while comparing the visit information on the past business days.

Furthermore, the cloud server 2 is a management device (not shown), and is communicably connected to a hall computer that tabulates game information on all gaming machines in the game arcade, whereby the cloud server counts the game information aggregated by the hall computer. It can be incorporated into 2 and analyzed.
For example, as shown in the lower column of FIG. 22A, the gross sales (sales) and the visit information can be compared so as to correspond to each other by week and day.
In this way, it is possible to analyze visit information and sales analysis on the basis of the relationship between visit information and the profit of the game arcade, which are aggregated for each week and day.

Further, FIG. 23 (a) is a chart in which the number of visits of players who have come to the store is classified by month, and FIG. 23 (b) is a chart in which the average stay time of the players who visit is classified by month.
According to the chart of FIG. 23A, since the number of visits by players who have come to the store is counted for each count, for example, it is possible to grasp the ratio of the revisitor in detail, and also for the new user You can guess the percentage.
Also, according to the chart of FIG. 23 (b), since the proportion for each average stay time of the players who came to the store is tabulated, for example, the proportion of players who play a game for a long time, or after coming to the store, It is possible to grasp the percentage of players who leave the store in time.

  In addition to the above, the average number of visitors by the day of the previous month and the number of visitors by the day of the week are compared with the same month last year (the number of visits in a specific month of the previous year and the number of visits in the same month The visit information can be displayed comparably on the basis of various viewpoints by arbitrarily designating the year, month, week, day of the week, time, etc., time reference, comparison information such as visit information, etc.

  As described above, according to the visit management system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, it is not only the entrance determination to each game arcade in a plurality of game arcades and the awarding of benefits, but also the cloud server for the count of visit management. It can be done comprehensively by 2.

Second Embodiment
Next, a store visit management system 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 and 25. FIG.
FIG. 24 is a diagram for explaining the process of specifying the position of the player according to the visit management application in the visit management system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 25 is table data including the correspondence between the distance between the beacon transmitter and the player and the machine number of the gaming machine.

The store visit management system 100 according to the present embodiment is characterized in that the position of the player in the game arcade is specified.
For this reason, the visit management system 100 of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a plurality of beacon transmitters 1 are installed in the hall of the game arcade.
By doing this, the device ID included in the beacon information and the identification information capable of specifying the position in the game arcade are associated one-on-one, so that the player can be identified from the device ID received by the portable terminal 3 or the cloud server 2 An approximate position in the game arcade can be identified.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the player's detailed position in the game arcade is specified by the function of the store visit management application provided in the portable terminal 3.

  For this reason, the store visit management application causes the control unit 35 of the portable terminal 3 to function as a reception strength measurement unit that measures the reception strength of the beacon information received from the beacon transmitter 1, and based on the received reception strength By causing the cloud server 2 to function as position information transmitting means for transmitting position information capable of specifying the position to the cloud server 2, the player of the portable terminal 3 is carried by the cloud server 2 based on the position information received from the mobile terminal 3. The position within the game arcade is specified.

Hereinafter, an example in which a gaming machine in which the player A is playing a game is specified as a position of the player A in the game arcade will be described.
In this example, as shown in FIG. 24, the beacon transmitter 1 is attached to each gaming machine island consisting of a plurality of gaming machines, and beacon information is received from the plurality of beacon transmitters 1 at the installation locations of all gaming machines. It shall be possible.

First, a method of generating table data (hereinafter referred to as a table) in which “distance between beacon transmitter and player” and “base number” shown in FIG. 25 are associated will be described.
This table measures the received signal strength (dB) of the beacon information received at the position of a certain gaming machine with a predetermined measuring instrument, determines the distance between each beacon transmitter 1 and the gaming machine, and determines the determined distance. , It is generated by inputting in the column of the beacon number corresponding to the machine number of the gaming machine, and this processing is completed by performing for all the gaming machines.

For example, the received signal strength of beacon information at the position of platform number 777 is measured, and four signals are selected from the descending order of received signal strength to determine the distance to each beacon transmitter 1.
As a result, the distance to beacon number (3) is 5 m, the distance to beacon number (4) is 1 m, the distance to beacon number (7) is 6 m, and the distance to beacon number (8) is 3 m. It shall be obtained.

In this case, in the 777th row of the table, enter "5" in the field of beacon number (3), enter "1" in the field of beacon number (4), and enter "5" in the field of beacon number (7). Enter "6" and enter "3" in the field of beacon number (8).
Then, this operation is performed on the machine numbers of all the gaming machines, and by inputting the distance to the corresponding beacon transmitter 1, the table of FIG. 25 is completed.
The completed table is stored in the storage unit 33 of the portable terminal 3 to complete the preparation of the process for specifying the position of the player by the store visit management application.

Next, identification processing of the position of the player performed in accordance with the store visit management application will be described.
Here, the case where the position in the game arcade of the player A who has already entered the game arcade will be described.
In this case, upon receiving beacon information from the plurality of beacon transmitters 1 installed in the game arcade, the portable terminal 3 of the player measures the received signal strength of each piece of beacon information.
The control unit 35 selects four device IDs in descending order of received signal strength according to the visit application, and obtains the distance to the beacon transmitter 1 specified from the device IDs based on the received signal strength.
As a result, the calculated value is 4 m for the beacon number (2), 10 m for the beacon number (3), 3 m for the beacon number (6), and 9 m for the beacon number (7). Shall be obtained.

The control unit 35 compares the calculated values with the data of the table in accordance with the visit application, and obtains the closest unit number (number 77) as the position information.
Then, the portable terminal 3 transmits the obtained position information to the cloud server 2 so that the cloud server 2 can specify the position of the player A based on the received position information (number 77). it can.
As a result, it can be specified that the gaming machine in which the player A is playing is the 77th gaming machine.

In this way, it is possible not only to identify the position of the player in the game arcade but also to track the action of the player by identifying it at certain time intervals.
For this reason, for example, by displaying a mark indicating the position of the player on the screen showing the layout of the game arcade, it is lost in the selection of the game console how much the player has played with which type of game machine. It is possible to easily grasp the various player's movements, such as whether or not

By the way, in a state where the portable terminal 3 is stored in a pocket or bag of clothes (a state where it is not exposed to the outside), radio waves of beacon information are disturbed by cloth, leather or the like, and the portable terminal 3 is external The received signal strength of the beacon information is reduced compared to the state of being exposed to the.
Then, the position specification of the portable terminal 3 (player) described above is performed based on the distance calculated by the received signal strength, so the accuracy is degraded when the portable terminal 3 is not exposed to the outside. A problem arises.
In response to this problem, in the visit management system 100 according to the present embodiment, it is assumed that the launch mode of the visit management application has a state in which execution is activated (foreground state) and a state in which standby activation is performed (background state). As a premise, among these, it is intended to solve by the specific configuration based on the detection of the background state.

That is, the visit management application is in the foreground state when performing an operation related to the application, but is switched to the background state by not performing the operation for a fixed time, the portable terminal 3 is placed in a pocket or the like It is often in the background when it is
Therefore, in the visit management application of the present embodiment, when the state when the beacon information is received is the background state, it is considered that the portable terminal 3 is not exposed to the outside, and the received signal strength is the foreground state The received signal strength of beacon information received at the time is corrected.

  Specifically, the visit management application determines whether the portable terminal 3 is exposed to the outside by the control unit 35 depending on whether the visit management application is activated for execution or on standby. When it is determined that the portable terminal 3 is not exposed to the outside, it functions as a means, and when beacon information is received from the beacon transmitter 1, as reception strength correction means for correcting the reception strength of the received beacon information It is made to function, and the position information based on the corrected reception intensity is transmitted to the cloud server 2 as position information transmitting means.

  That is, when the coming-to-store management application receives beacon information from the surrounding beacon transmitter 1 in the background state, if the received signal strength is X (db), the value corrected by the correction formula (X + α) The distance to the beacon transmitter 1 is calculated based on The adjustment value “α” is, for example, the difference between the received signal strength when beacon information is measured using a measuring instrument normally and the received signal strength when measuring the measuring instrument covered with a cloth or clothes. Use

For example, when the coming-to-store management application is in the background state, the received signal strengths of the beacon information received from the beacon transmitters 1 of beacon numbers (2), (3), (6), and (7) 2), X (3), X (6), X (7), each correction value is X (2) + α, X (3) + α, X (6) + α, X ( 7) + α.
And based on these correction values, the distance to each beacon transmitter 1 is 4 m for beacon number (2), 10 m for beacon number (3), 3 m for beacon number (6), beacon number (7 When it is calculated that 9 m is calculated, information (number 77) of the closest approximation can be obtained as the position information of the portable terminal 3 by comparison with the value of the table.

  Then, the portable terminal 3 transmits the obtained position information to the cloud server 2, and the cloud server 2 specifies the position (number 77) of the player A based on the received position information (information of base number). Can.

  By doing this, the player in the game arcade (portable terminal 3) can receive the signal strength of the beacon information because the portable terminal 3 is housed in a pocket or the like and is not exposed to the outside. The position of can be determined accurately.

Third Embodiment
Next, the store visit management system 100 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The visit management system 100 according to the present embodiment is characterized in that it can detect a failure such as battery exhaustion of beacon information installed in the game arcade.
The beacon transmitter 1 of this embodiment drives a dry cell battery or a button battery as a power supply.
For this reason, when the remaining amount of the battery decreases, the voltage of the beacon transmitter 1 gradually decreases and the operation becomes intermittent. After that, when the remaining amount of the battery disappears, the beacon transmitter 1 is completely It will not work.
Even if the player enters the game arcade with the operation of the beacon transmitter 1 as described above, the player's portable terminal 3 gradually or completely does not receive the beacon information. I will not receive admission information.
The store visit management system 100 according to the present embodiment focuses on the operation of each device and installs it in the game arcade when the number of entrance determinations for a particular game arcade gradually decreases or extremely decreases. An abnormality of the beacon transmitter 1 is detected.

Specifically, in the cloud server 2, the control unit 25 functions as a means for counting the number of entrances, and counts the number of times the entrance determination by the entrance determination means is performed for each game arcade, and functions as an abnormality detection means The game which is extracted by extracting the game arcade where the number of entrance judgments in a predetermined period is less than a predetermined threshold or the number of entrance judgments in a predetermined period decreases as time passes. An abnormality of the beacon transmitter 1 installed in the field is detected.
For example, the reference number of times is set based on the actual value of the number of times of determination of the past entrance in each game arcade, etc. For the game arcade that did not meet this reference frequency, beacon transmitter 1 installed in the game arcade Is detected as abnormal.

In detail, the average value of the number of entrance judgments is 100 times, and the number of entrance judgments counted on one day is less than 10 in the game arcade with 10% of the number of times (10 times) as the reference number In this case, it is detected that the beacon transmitter 1 installed in the game arcade has any trouble or that the possibility is high.
When an abnormality is detected, a warning message is displayed for the beacon transmitter 1 together with the store name and the device ID on the display unit 24 of the cloud server 2, and a similar message is e-mailed to a pre-registered e-mail address. The manager of the game arcade can be warned via the office terminal 9.

Moreover, the number of entrance determinations can be monitored in time series, and when a specific change is detected, abnormality of the beacon transmitter 1 can also be detected.
For example, the number of entrance determinations per day has fallen continuously from the previous day for several days (for example, 7 days) continuously, or the fall width from the previous day (difference between the number of entrance judgments on the previous day and the number of entrances on the day) is predetermined. When it is detected that the reference width (for example, 50 times) is exceeded, it can be set to detect an abnormality of the beacon transmitter 1.

As described above, according to the visit management system 100 of the present embodiment, the cloud server 2 detects all the abnormalities of the beacon transmitter 1 installed in each game arcade, and this is detected as the office terminal 9 of the game arcade or the like. I will notify you.
For this reason, since it is possible to respond promptly to the failure of the beacon transmitter 1 or to prevent the occurrence of the failure of the beacon transmitter 1 in advance, it is possible to stably operate the service related to the visit management system 100. .

Fourth Embodiment
Next, a store visit management system 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The visit management system 100 according to the present embodiment allows the player to shift the visit points stored up to that point to the post-change portable terminal 3 when the portable terminal 3 is changed to another different portable terminal 3. It has a feature in
This is because, as shown in the point management table T3 of FIG. 8, the assigned points are managed in association with the MAC address (terminal identification information) of the portable terminal 3, so the MAC address of the portable terminal 3 is If the mobile terminal 3 is changed to a different mobile terminal, the store visit points stored until then are not taken over by the mobile terminal 3 after the change, so the transition process of the store visit point is smoothed while solving such a problem. It is something that can be done.

  That is, in the cloud server 2, the control unit 25 functions as a benefit information storage unit to associate the provided visit point (reward information) with the MAC address (terminal identification information) unique to the portable terminal 3. In the present embodiment, when the predetermined handover preparation request information is received from the portable terminal 3 in the present embodiment, the predetermined handover information is stored in the mobile phone in the present embodiment. The handover information is transmitted to the portable terminal 3 by storing it in association with the MAC address of the terminal 3 and functioning as a handover information transmitting means.

In the mobile terminal 3, the control unit 35 functions as a handover information display unit to display handover information received from the cloud server 2.
Further, by functioning as an authentication information transmission unit, handover information input by a predetermined operation is transmitted to the cloud server 2.

  Then, in the cloud server 2, when the control unit 25 functions as the privilege information storage unit, when the handover information is received from the predetermined portable terminal 3 (the portable terminal 3 after the change), the information is associated with the received handover information. The stored MAC address is changed to the MAC address of the portable terminal 3 that is the transmission source of the handover information.

  Hereinafter, the MAC address of the mobile terminal 3a before the change is "c4: 43: 8f: xx: xx: xx" (hereinafter, abbreviated as "c4"), and the MAC address of the mobile terminal 3b after the change is "aa: bb : Cc: xx: xx: xx ”(hereinafter, abbreviated as“ aa ”), and the MAC address“ c4 ”of the mobile terminal 3a before the change is associated with the visiting point (benefit) given so far The transition of the visit point in the case of being managed (stored) will be specifically described.

  First, a handover preparation request is issued to the cloud server 2 by the operation of the mobile terminal 3a before the change. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26A, the display unit 34 displays an input screen for prompting input of user information. When user information such as a mail address, date of birth, gender and the like is input by the operation of the player, model change request information including the user information is transmitted to the cloud server 2.

When the cloud server 2 receives the handover preparation request from the mobile terminal 3, the cloud server 2 issues unique handover information. Specifically, the user information table T2 is searched using the user information included in the handover preparation request information as a key, and unique handover information is issued only when there is coincident information. As the handover information, for example, a predetermined random number program issues a unique number (transfer number) each time there is a handover preparation request. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that “1234” is issued as the handover number.
The issued handover number is linked to the user information specified by the search and stored, and the handover number is transmitted to the portable terminal 3. In the case of the present embodiment, the handover number “1234” is stored in association with the management number “26” in the user information table T2, and is notified to the portable terminal 3.
The portable terminal 3 displays the received handover number on the display unit 34, as shown in FIG. 26 (b). As a result, the player can obtain the issued handover number “1234”.

The player who has obtained the handover number inputs the handover number to the mobile terminal 3b after the change.
Specifically, the store management application installed in advance in the mobile terminal 3b after the change is activated, and the screen shown in FIG. 26C is displayed on the display unit 34 according to a predetermined operation related to the input of the handover number. Ru. The player inputs the acquired transfer number in accordance with the instructions on this screen.
The input handover number is transmitted to the cloud server 2 together with the MAC address of the mobile terminal 3b. For example, when “1234” is input as the handover number, the handover number “1234” and the MAC address “aa” are transmitted to the cloud server 2.

When the cloud server 2 receives the handover number from the mobile terminal 3b, the cloud server 2 specifies the MAC address stored in association with the handover number, and changes the MAC address to the MAC address of the mobile terminal 3b.
For example, when the handover number “1234” and the MAC address “aa” are received, the handover number “1234” is searched in the user information table T2, and the MAC address “c4” associated with the handover number “1234” is It is changed to the MAC address “aa” received together with the handover number.
Then, along with the change of the MAC address in the user information table T2, the corresponding MAC address in the user information table T2 is changed.
Specifically, based on the common data item "management number", the MAC address of the management number "26" in the point management table T3 is changed from "c4" to "aa".

As a result, the visit point stored in association with the MAC address "c4" of the portable terminal 3a before the change is stored in association with the MAC address "aa" of the portable terminal 3b after the change.
Therefore, the visit point stored in the mobile terminal 3a before the change is taken over to the mobile terminal 3b after the change.

  As described above, according to the visit management system 100 of the present embodiment, even when the player's portable terminal 3a is changed to a portable terminal 3b of a different model, the visit point is smoothly transitioned by the simple operation by the player. be able to.

With respect to the visit management system of the present invention described above, the mail delivery system according to Patent Document 1 has the following problems.
According to the mail delivery system of Patent Document 1, the player must perform a store visit operation using a portable terminal in order to obtain service information, which is a burden for the player.
In addition, since each game arcade requires wiring facilities such as a management device, a relay device, and a LAN cable, there is a problem that the expense burden is large from the viewpoint of the game arcade side.
Furthermore, since the visit information obtained by the mail delivery system is information limited to the game arcade, it has not been possible to efficiently analyze the gaming trends of the players across multiple stores.
In addition, in the mode of centrally managing a plurality of stores, such as a chain store, the manager of the chain store has to individually obtain visit information of each game arcade, which is inefficient and lacks convenience. It was
The preferred embodiment of the store visit management system 100 according to the present invention has been described above, but the store visit management system 100 according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications may be made within the scope of the present invention. It goes without saying that is possible.

For example, when it is assumed that the portable terminal 3 is not provided with the receiving means of the BLE standard, instead of the beacon transmitter 1, an access point of a wireless LAN can be installed in the game arcade.
That is, in the communication performed between the portable terminal 3 and the access point at the time of Wi-Fi connection, the portable terminal 3 located in the reception area receives the SSID (Service Set IDentifier) transmitted from the access point As a result, the unique SSID can be used as the device ID related to the beacon transmitter 1.

Also, without making the mobile terminal 3 hold the beacon table T1, only the cloud server 2 can hold the beacon table T1, and the entrance determination can be performed. Specifically, the mobile terminal 3 having received the beacon information includes the beacon information as it is in the entrance information and transmits it to the cloud server 2, and the cloud server 2 uses the beacon table T1 with the device ID included in the beacon information as a key. The search is made to determine the entrance of the player at a particular game arcade.
Also in the second embodiment, the cloud server 2 can be made to hold a table used for position specification, and the cloud server 2 can specify the position of the player. Specifically, the data of received signal strength of the beacon information received from each beacon transmitter 1 is transmitted from the portable terminal 2 to the cloud server 2, and the cloud server 2 makes a table based on each received signal strength received. The position of the portable terminal 2 carried by the player is specified by reference.

Further, notification of point information and the like from the cloud server 2 to the portable terminal 3 can be a so-called push message that transmits regardless of a request from the portable terminal 2 side. As a function, it is possible to make it possible to selectively operate the push message (see “push notification” in FIG. 14).
In addition, the coupon image can be transmitted from the cloud server 2 to the visitor's mobile terminal 3 so that the coupon image can be displayed, and the displayed coupon image can be presented at a partner restaurant or shop to receive benefits such as discount. You can also
